I would love to see something like "true salary" where people can enter the actual hours they work, vacation days they get and salary (+ taxation as an option). If I compare on a per hour basis and factor in vacation time quite a few good looking US salaries become a lot less attractive for say a French software developer who is working a 35h workweek. It's especially interesting if you compare "boring" development jobs to "highly innovative" ones because in boring jobs (in house J2EE etc.) you're often actually able to more or less stick to the 40h/week without much overtime.

I made total $220k/yr at ~40hrs w/4 weeks vacation a year w/base of 140k at a prior job. This was typical.

You can't just write "typical" and not explain.

Typical for what? SF? Your company? CA? For people with your level of experience?

>>> a French software developer who is working a 35h work week.

It's fairly atypical for French to work only 35h a week. I've never seen that anywhere in tech in the private sector.
